I Surrender All?

I Surrender All.  I Surrender All? I.Surrender.All.  Last night we had a concert at our church.  The group was pretty good but if you know me at all, you know I am not a fan of concerts.  I mean seriously I have an Ipod and I can do so many other things while I listen to my Ipod but at a concert I just have to sit there and listen.  Not my style!  So anyways. As with any good Baptist concert there was an invitation.  And of course we sang I Surrender All.  It got me to thinking.  Do I really surrender all?  I mean really?  Absolutely not.  I am a fairly selfish person.  I like things the way I like them because I like them that way! :) Just sayin...  Do I want to surrender all?  I think in theory as Christ followers we all want to surrender all.  But in reality is this what I want?  If this is really what I wanted wouldn't I live my life differently?  What would my life look like if I really did surrender all?  Oh my....it would look like me letting go of some serious control.  That is a lot.  It is hard.  How do we do it? How do I do it?
